So far I think I'm ahead in the "whitest home town" game....
I can't remember how white we are, but 47% have a bachelor's.
Also, the way they do distance is confusing to me. Is it from the center of Downtown? Because they have Boeing Field as being 8 miles from the city, but it's within city limits, and the north end of it is 5 miles from downtown, seeing as that's where I live and all.
Also, no crime stats listed for San Francisco. Whuh?
And having absolutely nothing to do with American towns, though it does concern America, what's the American equivalent of Digestive biscuits?
this is what I really love on my zip code page:

Jars, I think maybe oatmeal cookies are close, though not quite.
Or possibly something like the unholy offspring of graham crackers and oatmeal cookies, but still not quite. Digestives don't really have an exact parallel cookie in the US, for which we are all the poorer.
Do you mean the American word for them, or the equivalent kid comfort food cookie?
I dont' think either of those is quite right. What are those teething cookies you can buy?
Ooh, good point, Hil. If it's the latter, then I'd say graham crackers.
